Burt Bacharach was an original. A brilliant melody maker and one half, with Hal David, of one of best pop writing partnerships of all time.
We were lucky enough to grow up listening to his songs and even luckier to spend some time recording them. 1/2

‘Chocolate Girl’ was the best ‘flop’ single we ever had. It never made the Top 40 but seemed to be played on the radio as much as anything else we’d released. It meant that people kept checking out our debut album, ‘Raintown,' and we’ve always been grateful. Rx
